Alberta — Bills

Bill No. 118 of 1941. A BILL TO AMEND AND CONSOLIDATE

AN ACT FOR THE PREVENTION OF PRAIRIE AND FOREST FIRES NOTE. This Bill amends and consolidates The Prairie Fires Act. The new Act is divided into three parts, the first of which deals with administration, the second with prohibitions, and the third sets out the offences which constitute infrac tions of the Act, and the penalties therefor. The first few se,ctions of

Part I under the heading of "General" deal with the application of the Act, the con stitution of fire districts, and so forth. The Lieutenant Governor in Council is given wide powers to make regula tions regarding permits for the use of fire and the pre ventive measures which must be taken to prevent its spread. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are con stituted ex officio fire guardians and municipalities and other persons have certain powers to appoint other fire guardians. The next

section deals with the powers of the Minister which are quite wide with regard to the issue, cancellation, suspension or re-instatement of licenses or permits, the closing of areas and the prohibiting of travel through areas unless persons are the holders of travel per mits. Fire guardians, forest offIcers and other enforcement officers have wide powers to conscript assistance to fight fires or to require work to be done to prevent fires. The prohibitions are contained in

Part II of the Act. Fires are prohibited in fire districts in the close season except under certain circumstances. Persons are pro hibited from travelling in fire districts unless they are the holders of permits allowing them to do so. The use of engines which are not provided with proper preventive devices or the destruction of waste in burners which are not so equipped is prohibited. The last few sections in this Part deal with the regulations and requirements to be observed in connection with clearing, milling or other operations.

Part III of the Act sets out the penalties for infractions of the provisions of the Act or the regulations. In addition to penalties, it states that nothing contained in this Act

ii is to affect or interfere with the right of any person to bring a civil action for damages occasioned by fire. Sec tions 53 and 54 are matters of procedure. w. S. GRAY, Acting Legislative Counsel. (This note does not form any part of the Bill but is offered in explanation of its provisions.)
